The chainsaw didn�t hit Duke, however, it merely buried itself into the ground. Algernon�s boot came very close though, and Duke got a good look at the piece of muck which had stuck there earlier. This may seem unremarkable, except for the fact that it displayed a fractal geometry enough to make Duke forget his earlier project on particle, and forge a new branch of �Mucky Maths� and claim world-wide applause, as it�s applications solved world problems such as war, famine, peace and mime artists. He then became disillusioned with the whole thing, found a Russian bride on the internet and ran away with her to Jamaica, where he set up a radical commune with like-minded people focussed on growing extra large beetroots which didn�t mind being boiled (the people didn�t mind being boiled alive, that is, the beetroots were quite anti-boiling in all it�s forms).
That�s all for now. Thought you�d like to know.
Oh, and you may have been wondering where I fit into all this (though you may not, though you may well be thinking about it now, I can�t really tell you) and I can reveal:
I was a fly on the wall.
Flies are very common in the country after all.
